Good Italian food, in Jinnah Super. Nice atmosphere, excellent service, and the New York cheesecake is divine. And to boot, it's good value for money. We paid roughly twice the amount as we did at Pizza Hut a few weeks ago, however, we were 5 people (3 adults) instead of 3 (1 adult), and we all had a starter, maincourse, and desert, and 3 of us had cappuccino or coffee. So definitely very good value for money, and the food is a million times better than Pizza Hut, even the pizza. Little One devoured an entire Margharita pizza by himself, followed by chocolate cake. I thoroughly enjoyed my Tagliatelle alla Funghi, it tasted truly Italian, the cheese sauce was simply heavenly.

We might try out Romano next, in Super.

I stil haven't managed to upload my website, it's all done, but somehow, the FTP program doesn't agree with something and it won't show *shrugs*. I'll keep working on it.

Did the subject line got your attention? *snicker*

Well, it's been 20 years today that I met hubby. He promised me cheesecake for later, so I might stay with him a bit longer :-) I'm glad we're in Islamabad today (still), it rained early this morning, and the weather is quite bearable right now, we might even go to the market without sweating to death.

I think I've solved my monkey dilemma for now. I absolutely hate the thought that some locals here keep them, then train them to perform, for the entertainment of people. On the other hand, at least they don't just go around begging and being a complete and utter nuisance to everyone, like an increasing number of people do, mainly in the markets, and worse here in 'Pindi than in Islamabad, although the capital isn't immune to beggars by any means. Up until now I've never supported those monkey keepers in any way, because I don't like the idea of a monkey "performing". Well, last night, we went to Commercial Market to have fresh mango juice, and this monkey keeper came up. Hubby held his arms out to the monkey, and monkey came to sit by him, enjoying being stroked on the head, looking absolutely blissful. I held my hand out to him and he put his hand in mine and we just sat there holding hands. The locals shrieked because we "touched" the monkey, hubby and I were happy petting the monkey, and the keeper was happy getting our change without his charge having to perform, and most importantly, monkey was happy to get some loving attention. Gosh, they really are so human-like!

So there. I've finally had my monkey fix, and everyone is happy.

I'm going back to trying to sort out the website issue now, might even get somewhere today.

The pages that work are linked. The feedback page doesn't work yet, I'm working on that, but the net is slow at the moment *now_there_is_a_surprise*.
I've uploaded the first five chapters, too, links from the fiction page. As soon as Tatiana gets back with chapters 6 and 7 I'll upload those, too, in case you're wondering how the story continues *smirk*.
I'm off to the Crown Plaza now, well, their coffee shop. I heard they have cheesecake. :-)
